16 ounce can | Wegman's (grocery): Gainesville (Lake Manassas), Virginia | 16-May-2021 | US$1,99 (part of a mixed six pack) | canned: 23-October-2020 | sampled: 12-July-2026, a bit longer than five years after purchase

Fairly clear maroon mahogany pour. Draft. Strong hints of wood, malt, yeast, hops. Pretty competent

12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2! 9/23/23. Hazy amber, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of intense blood orange, pale malt. Taste is strong blood orange, pale malt, small bit of grapefruit and vanilla. Juicy, no bitterness.

16oz can, purchased from the brewery before they closed. Poured a light pink color with a small off-white head. Aroma was big strawberry and rhubarb. Tart, light bitter rhubarb. Strawberry finish, light sweetness. Just okay.

16oz can, purchased from the brewery before they closed. Poured a blueberry juice color with a small, creamy white head. Aroma was big blueberry notes, juicy blueberry skin. Flavor was sour blueberry pie, but not overly sweet. Really liked the balance of the sweet and tartness in this one. Favorite of the three Abstract beers I tried.

Very hazy, completely straw coloured body with a massive, eight centimetre tall off-white frothy head that fades very slowly over top of the 85 per cent opaque body. Aroma of light stone fruits and some scents of apples/pears and a touch of tropical fruits with some soft oats and wheat malt noticeable, but not much else. Medium-bodied; Crisp, fruity flavours show at first with a good balance of rich malts that provide a deep body, but still very easy-drinking and a nice hoppiness that shows up as a clean alpha acid bitterness near the end - but crisp throughout. Aftertaste is enjoyable, quite easy-drinking, but still flavourful and rich, but not complex or fitting into a single IPA category/style. Overall, a pretty nice, crisp, easy-drinking-ish and slightly bitter, but packing some nice flavours in an unfiltered package! Nice to try locally and reminiscent of the lower ABV Aslin IPAs that I really enjoy! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 28-June-2022 for US$1,87 (part of a mixed six pack) and sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-July-2022.

16oz can, purchased at the brewery before it closed. Poured a hazy yellow color with a medium sized, white head. Aroma was light tropical fruits, juicy, some herbal notes. Flavor was light orange, tropical fruit. Almost a bit too hazy, perhaps a bit chalky?

Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small white head. Aroma was big chai latte flavor. Flavor was pumpkin spice. Nice, light roast, chocolate. Cinnamon, nutmeg.

16oz can. Picked up at the brewery a week before it closed. Poured a mostly clear yellow color with a lot of carbonation - bubbly, but in a soda water kind of way rather than a more compact bubbly carbonation. Aroma had huge passion fruit tartness and sweet guava, lots of orange candy. Flavor is light tartness, from the passion fruit. It's light and refreshing, but I kind of wish there was a bit more body to this.

Pumpkin spice BS. Black pour with ok head. Bittersweet finish with tons of cloying spice. Can.
